Rhyme Time

          I have a new book out!  You know how nursery rhymes are basically creepy and weird?  At best, they’re outdated.  So I’ve written a bunch of new ones.  This new book is called LDS Nursery Rhymes and it captures Latter-Day Saint, or Mormon, life for kids.  But anyone can enjoy it—I own Jewish books, Catholic books, on and on—and it rounds out our understanding of one another to appreciate the good in any group.

          And wait until you see the gorgeous illustrations, by Trilea Minson.  Kids will love it!  Parents and grandparents will enjoy reading the rhymes, and reinforcing the virtues we all embrace.  Here’s one of the rhymes, to give you a sneak peek:

  Mack and Millie crossed the plains

            In one big covered wagon.

            Through the snow

            And through the ice

            The oxen started draggin’.

            And so they prayed with all their might

            Somehow they would arrive

            And sure enough,

            Though it was rough,

            They made it all alive.

            They fought the crickets, built a home

            And a posterity,

            And then that bunch

            Had bunches more

            And one of them is me!
